More than the average rain for the entirety of April could fall on Sydney on Friday as a so-called “black nor’easter” weather system bears down on the country’s east.
Forecasters are warning Friday could be a very dangerous weather day as a black nor’easter descends with particular fears for Sydney .Now foresters are warning that so much rain could fall over the three day rain event , which reaches its zenith on Friday, that several Sydney rivers could burst their banks in the city’s west and north.
The warning area includes The Central Coast, Sydney, Wollongong and Nowra and pushes as far inland as the Blue Mountains, Bathurst, the southern highlands and Canberra. On Friday, Wollongong is predicted to receive 35-130mm followed by 20-80mm the following day. The city’s average April monthly rainfall is 75mm so it could almost double that in a single day.The sheer amount of water has to go somewhere and there are real concerns for river levels. The good news is major flood warning are only in place for three NSW rivers – the bad news is all three could heavily affect Sydney.
